Gitea accepted pushed Git trees containing two entries with the same name, which Git's own consistency checks reject

Gitea · Gitea

Summary

Gitea accepted pushed Git trees containing two entries with the same name, which Git's own consistency checks reject, so its web views resolved such a path to the first entry while checkouts, Gitea Actions and release archives used the last. An attacker who can open a pull request can exploit this without authentication beyond that contribution and without any user interaction, showing benign content in the diff and file views while CI and checkouts at the same commit receive different, attacker-controlled content.

Official description · NVD

Gitea accepted pushed Git trees containing two entries with the same name, which Git's own consistency checks reject. Gitea's web views resolved such a path to the first entry, while `git checkout`, Gitea Actions, and release archives use the last. A contributor could open a pull request whose diff and file views show benign content while CI and checkouts at the same commit use different, attacker-controlled content. Incoming objects are now checked for consistency; objects already stored in existing repositories are not rescanned.
